Establishing the southwest corner of the Grand Forks Airport, this survey marker from 1971 was monumented on a square concrete pier at the southeast corner of a concrete box protecting a large manually operated water valve. We believe it is/was used to control the flow of irrigation water in a pipe below ground.

Immediately northeast of the marker is the southwest corner of the chainlink fence surrounding the airport.

The marker is stamped:
British Columbia Legal Survey
1971
534
L 1

272
One may park temporarily on Como Toad west of the marker, as this isn't a terribly busy spot.
